Of Wars and Peace Everywhere

Around the world—evil, raging wars continue to be steadfastly Fought in the name Of lasting peace; The military industrial complexes have found the puppets They’ve sought In the ruling West and East; Mislead cannon fodders on each side are being sent as heroic Anti-terrorist To theirs and others’ death; While the war mongers play pass-time war games of the mighty Military strategist—claiming what Of Earth’s resources are left. Nuclear power is once again the most prized of all desired possession; Embryo and fetus organs— The new ticker tapes; Bloated bellies—reflecting world hunger—remain the victims of recessions; Freedom and justice, Victims of world-wide Rapes— Meanwhile, the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness of roofs over the head, Have become worthless Pursuits of the game; No matter how loud the screams of the masses of the walking dead, The mongers only cry, ‘Ask God who’s the blame.’ Around the world, Sabbaths continue to be as segregated as peace from love; War remains The king pin. The hawk remains on high—his talons clutching the neck of the defenseless dove: Bigotry and war Know no sin. The dawn of the age of Aquarius has come and gone—nothing has really changed As prophesized, Predicted and supposed. Behold, a new day is upon the horizon; faith and hope having long arranged a peace Only the angles could Have reposed; Behold—the many rivers we’ve crossed now flow into the sea of a new found day; None can stem the tides of the blood of peace and equity streaming our way.
